You keep whistling.Not so much.
The economy is going totally balls out, jobs numbers are great, unemployment historically low, but what does the media talk about? Inflation, the single low point.
Joe biden has accomplished more for American families than anyone, ever, with his child tax credit, obamacare expansion, and infrastructure bill just to name a few things, but what does the media talk about? Gas prices.
Republican states are banning abortions, pre-rigging elections, and in the case of texas illegally negotiating with other countries, but what does the media talk about? How low Joe Biden's poll numbers are. The very poll numbers that they are lowering with their coverage!
The mainstream media is on nobody's side but their own. Don't get me wrong, most won't outright like like the RWNJ press, but they are out to get viewers to watch advertising, and good news doesn't sell advertising.
Like all megacorporations they have lost the sense of public responsibility.
Not so much.

Any chance you can reimburse me for the coffee you just made me spit out?Joe biden has accomplished more for American families than anyone, ever, with his child tax credit, obamacare expansion, and infrastructure bill just to name a few things, but what does the media talk about? Gas prices.
If the election were held today, the democrats are in big trouble. Here’s the generic congressional ballot.Not so much.

See NPR and or PBS. Hell, even BBC.If people actually WANT reliable news that tells them what they NEED to hear instead of what they WANT to hear, it's going
to become very important that such news networks derive operating costs from outside of the profit motive.
Come on over, I just pressed a fresh carafe.Any chance you can reimburse me for the coffee you just made me spit out?
NPR and PBS, same parent company.See NPR and or PBS. Hell, even BBC.
I don't think anyone following politics would think the midterms were "in the bag" since the trend has been for the controlling party to lose seats.Not so much.
If it were some trivial low point then one could understand there being an unusual focus, but inflation has major impacts to consumers in a variety of ways and will dominate how people think about the economy. Think of this in the same context people feel about the stock market doing well and their economic situation not reflecting that. Even without the media talking about it, the impact of inflation are a major talking point for the general public.The economy is going totally balls out, jobs numbers are great, unemployment historically low, but what does the media talk about?

This falls into the same area as my comment above because they are interconnected. Remember, people tend to focus on what is directly affecting them versus policies which aren't as immediately impactful; the infrastructure bill being one of them.Joe biden has accomplished more for American families than anyone, ever, with his child tax credit, obamacare expansion, and infrastructure bill just to name a few things, but what does the media talk about?

I don't think that's an accurate representation based on the news I browse through; there's ample coverage on all of the topics you mentioned including Biden's polling numbers. Are you advocating the media ignore polling numbers?Republican states are banning abortions, pre-rigging elections, and in the case of texas illegally negotiating with other countries, but what does the media talk about? How low Joe Biden's poll numbers are. The very poll numbers that they are lowering with their coverage!
On this we agree, and it's why the modern media landscape requires one to be an active researcher if one wants to have a more balanced view on any given issue. The various large news media outlets are catering their content to their demographic, so that's going to impact the slant of their reporting. If you go to Fox News there will be more critical reporting of Democrats than CNN/MSNBC.The mainstream media is on nobody's side but their own.

I'll never forget the time I perused the "DP Members Pics" section and someone remarked that one of our more Right wing members had "kind eyes".Come on over, I just pressed a fresh carafe.
